Classical music lovers and curious newcomers alike will have the chance to enjoy a free performance by some of Australia's most talented emerging musicians when the Australian Festival of Chamber Music Pathways Program visits Proserpine next month.
On Wednesday 5th August, the Orpheus Quintet, will perform a one-hour concert that offers audiences the chance to experience some classical musicians in an intimate live setting.
Formed at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the Orpheus Quintet is one of Australia's rising chamber ensembles, earning recognition for its energetic performances, musical precision and collaborative approach.
The Sydney-based wind ensemble has worked with some of the country's leading musicians and was selected to participate in a masterclass with the LA Philharmonic Wind Quintet during its Australian tour.
The performance also highlights the Australian Festival of Chamber Music’s Pathways Program, an initiative dedicated to developing the next generation of professional chamber musicians through mentoring, performance opportunities and regional touring.
Running from 11am to 12pm, the free concert will also feature works by renowned composers Malcolm Arnold and Maurice Ravel, alongside a newly commissioned piece by emerging Australian composer Sam Wu, offering audiences a program that spans both celebrated classics and fresh Australian composition.
Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins said the performance was a wonderful
opportunity for the community to experience world-class music without leaving the region.
"We're delighted to welcome the Australian Festival of Chamber Music Pathways Program to
the Proserpine Entertainment Centre," Mayor Collins said.
"This free concert gives our community the opportunity to experience outstanding young
musicians performing at an incredibly high standard.
“Whether you're a long-time classical music fan or simply looking to experience something different, this performance promises to be an enjoyable and inspiring hour of live music."
Audiences can expect an engaging performance that fills the crowd with energy, done through technical brilliance and musical storytelling. While the concert is free, booking is essential due to the limited seating capacity, which can be done at https://bit.ly/thePEC-AFC.
